i don’t want to go crazy with sliders. i appreciate the fact that this game has a million of them, so u can tweak certain specific things. but, in some ways, having too many is also a burden in determining exactly what will change, regardless of the slider’s ‘name.’.
that being said, i actually dropped difficulty from superstar to all-star, and the game is playing better. i’ve won a few more games, now, and i’ve adjusted the timing of some moves that has simply changed from 21 to 22, and i’m understanding some set plays in the Hawks offense this year. i’ve adjusted to the new shot meter, too. that was actually another pain point for me. it’s actually better than 21, imo, but it took me several games to nail down 3 ball timing. now, i’m hitting several 3s with Collins, and even some with Trae Young and his awful release. lol. i barely hit any 3s with him in 21 because his release is so quick. instead, he was the Human Layup Machine for me. lol.
but, anyways, playing on all-star still feels difficult enough, and the overall play is better. i’m getting used to the ‘new’ animations of basically walking into your defender back n forth and hitting the shot button when u would in real life as u gain a slight body advantage over the defender. this quite simply wasn’t in 21, for me at least. when u bumped into a defender, it was over. u couldn’t move forward. but, in 22, u can kind of wiggle the defender all the way to the basket and then take a shot at the right time, or take advantage of a height mismatch. this may be more realistic, actually, and after playing several games on all-star, i’m enjoying the actual ‘basketball’ i’m seeing and the D is much improved.
i’d like to move back to superstar, cause that’s where i was in 21, but i think i’ll hold off for awhile so as to not to completely aggravate myself. lol.
